A 27-year-old woman has today discovered that Facebook is nothing more than a psychological torture device.
Casey Lang says she’s been moving on with her life when a notification on her phone had her reeling all over again.
The notification, wedged in between a tagged meme and some weirdo liking an old profile picture of hers, was an invite from her ex-boyfriend to like his new business page.
“Oh for fuck’s sake.”
“I haven’t spoken to him in years and he wants me to like his fucking thing?”
“HE CHEATED ON ME.”
Having developed a chronic urge to mindlessly scroll without actually absorbing any useful information, Casey says this was the kick up the ass she needed to get off her account altogether.
When Casey wasn’t rereading the same distilled information provided by her echo chamber, Facebook also liked to helpfully remind her that this time last year she’d been happily traipsing around Spain with her boyfriend.
“Honestly I don’t even know why I use it anymore.”
“All I see are memes and news that yet another classmate has gotten engaged.”
“Or shitty clickbait articles from esteemed news sources.”
More to come.
